Profile: Baker's infield flexibility and lefty-mashing talents make him a strong bet to get 200 plate appearances each year, but as a liability against righties, he would need a few injuries to Ian Stewart or Darwin Barney in order to open consistent opportunities. He has shown flashes of power, but his true talent level appears to be near league average with the bat (~99 wRC+) and above average with the glove. Deep leagues with deep benches could use him as a plug-and-play, but that's about it. (Bradley Woodrum)

The Quick Opinion: As a decent defender and a lefty masher, the 30-year-old Baker does not offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Profile: As a 32-year-old utility infielder with a RHH-platoon-partner ceiling, Jeff Baker has the most narrow of fantasy appeal. He hits lefties well, but nowhere near well enough to be a starter or worthy of fantasy consideration. (Bradley Woodrum)

Profile: For one shining spring back in 2009, Jeff Baker held the interest of sleeper-hungry fantasy owners nationwide. He fathered this not through accomplishment but by combining three factors: a .201 isolated slugging percentage, a Rockies uniform, and second-base eligibility. Only one of those remains. So instead, Baker wanders the earth as a utility guy and an anti-LOOGY. He’ll get his 200 plate appearances and perhaps crack double digit homers again, and he’s a great fallback for wounded teams, but he’s useless for fantasy purposes. (Patrick Dubuque)

Profile: Baker’s sole use at this point is being a decent, cheap option to use in daily contests versus left-handed pitching. Baker’s abilities are known, at this point, and the things he can’t do are well known, too. He’ll perform versus lefties, but there simply aren’t enough at-bats for him in that role to be of any use in most leagues. (Landon Jones)

Profile: Baker was released by the Marlins in July and has yet to join a new team since then. At 34 years old, it is likely that Baker's career is over or very close to it. Baker was on his way out of the league a few years back but his suddenly great performance with the Rangers in 2013 bought him a few years on the Marlins bench. Obviously, if you are not on a baseball team you cannot be useful in fantasy baseball. (Ben Duronio)
